/Appendix/Appx_Section 16

/Appendix/Appx_Section 16: Although a true believer, whether baptized, or unbaptized, be in the state of salvation, and shall certainly be saved; Yet in obedience to the command of Christ every believer ought to desire baptism, and to yield himself to be baptized according to the rule of Christ in His word; And where this obedience is in faith performed, there Christ makes this His ordinance a means of unspeakable benefit to the believing soul, Acts 2:38. 22:16; Rom.6:3-4; 1 Pet.3:21. And a true believer that here sees the command of Christ lying upon him, cannot allow himself in disobedience thereunto, Acts 24:16.
